  1. Mistake in post on New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory? · · Score: 0

    Note the Slashdot -- I noticed a mistake: Instead of a little battery there
    should be a little foot next to this post.

  2. Re:Source for Hydrogen on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hit the Road · · Score: 0

    Oil & natural gas exist because of the sun.

    So it's renewable.

    You just have to wait a few million years ...

  3. Re:Huh? We can't even see the moon properly! on New Dust Storm on Mars Viewable with Telescopes · · Score: 0
    If we can see a dust storm on mars, surely we'd be able to see the lunar rovers on the moon which is a hell of alot closer, right?


    Only if the lunar rovers were 3.66 miles long ...

    In[1]:= Solve[x/225745==700/43137071.,x]

    Out[1]= {{x -> 3.66324}}

    Where 225,745 is the lower bound of the distance to the moon (in miles).

    Where 700 is the size of the Mars storm (in miles).

    Where 43,137,071 is the current distance to Mars (in miles).
  4. Re:Let's get the instruments in space on NASA Takes Step Forward In Planet Finding · · Score: 0

    I have a better idea. Instead of doing solid science, let's use that money
    to send humans to the moon (again), so they can hit a golf ball (again) ...

  5. Intelligent Design on Self-Replicating Robots · · Score: 0

    See, intelligent design. But of course, a million years from now no robot is going to believe they were created by semi-intelligent apes. Instead there will be a theory a spontaneous self replicating robot must have originated in one of the many junkyards that existed at that time.

  6. Digital Television Conversion Act of 1997 on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 0

    Here is the bill everyone is talking about.

    Please note -

    (1) TV broadcast industry got digital broadband for free.

    (2) US Treasury wants to auction off analog bandwidth for $$$

    (3) The bill was intended to speed up digital conversion by setting a deadline.

    (4) Non-commercial stations (PBS) are not scheduled to return analog bandwidth until 1-1-2007.

    (5) The bill only mentions problems with licensees to extend the deadline (it does not mention problems you the people might have with a conversion, even though you the people probably should have a say in this matter).

  12. Never happy on ViewSonic VP2290b Super High-Res Monitor · · Score: 0

    Jalal Werfalli: Now, in my book, that is a dream resolution to work with especially when image manipulation is the focus of your work. For me, I would love to edit and correct my photographs on this display purely because there is so much desktop space. For instance, I could easily display, at full resolution, the RAW images captured with my camera's 6.29 million pixel CMOS sensor. No need to use the zoom tool here - just the complete picture in all its glory at my finger tips!

    Yes, but now you need a better digital camera ...
